Unemp. at 4.4% Nat'l debt at $30.7 trillion Rev. from tariffs $179 billion Respect for the children raped by the Epstein syndicate? ZERO. Remind me again of how bad Biden was? How many times he is in the Epstein files? trump is a liar, a fraud and whatever else the Epstein files will reveal.

If you can look at this and not feel profound shame about what ICE is doing in America's name, you are not human.

So, is it my imagination, or is trump not permitted to keep all this stuff?

What? Me worry?

Philly loves a parade! And today was a great one. Music! Unity! Great signs of things to come if we keep pushing.

Great rally in Philadelphia, made even better by Jamie Raskin! The crowd looked as if it was more than twice as large as the last No Kings march. Patriotic Americans standing up for democracy.

Mike Johnson bleats about upcoming protest march. Whines that protest is bad. Another dodge by Republicans to obscure the obscene truth of this trump regime. Trump lives to lie, to grab as much $$ as he can. America can go bankrupt for all he cares, as long as he makes money off democracy's carcass.

Trump says Portland is burning. No challenges. RFK says fetuses are in the placenta, circumcision causes autism. Noem says elected officials in Oregon are pansies. And Bondi hurls canned insults at senators. Republicans remain silent. What a disgusting, dispiriting week watching this shit show.

Tom Cotton pissed himself on Jan. 6. He should thank the cops who saved his sorry ass.

God must be thrilled with scenes from Alligator Alcatraz, not to mention the babies starving in Gaza. And let's not forget the torture, rape and beating of the immigrants we sent to the prison of trump's buddy, Bukele--a jerk who calls himself "the world's coolest dictator." This is religion?

3/3What would Jesus do? Hard to speak for someone in whose name so many heinous crimes have been committed. Would Jesus stop starving children to death? Stop bombing hospitals and schools? Stop supplying weapons to people for whom human life has zero value? What would Jesus do? We’ll never know.

2/3Would he force those prisoners to eat like dogs, in filthy, sweltering cages? The repubs are so damned proud of their Christianity; yet, abusing and humiliating human beings is a spectator sport. There are no words adequate to describe trump’s profound deceitfulness and contempt for human life

1/3Besides the whole Epstein affair, the obscene hypocrisy of trump and all his sycophantic toadies should embarrass and enrage every American. Simple question: What would Jesus do? Maybe set up concentration camps, fill them with people just trying to escape violence and persecution?

Trump’s habit of referring to any damaging information as a “hoax” has never been more laughable or concerning than it is here. https://trib.al/MFGDzdt

And FDR promised to repeal Smoot Hawley in 1932. It was finally repealed in 1934. Once again, trump's understanding of history is profoundly flawed. This man is an embarrassment and clearly mentally unfit to lead this country.

The Smoot-Hawley tariff was passed less than nine months after the stock market crash, in June 1930. Its first full year of effect was 1931.

Obscure But Painful Reconciliation Package Cuts You May Have Missed talkingpointsmemo.com/news/obscure...

The appalling cruelty of these "christians," trump's fans. They're incapable of seeing human beings as they brag about the millions of ways they're anticipating the fun of torturing and starving immigrants. Nobody even talks about habeas corpus any more. We've moved on from that silly constitution.

I have been a democrat most of my life. Tonight, I am so bitterly disappointed in the "leadership" of the democrats in Congress. They're hoping for a blue wave in the midterms. It will be hard for me to vote for any democrat who doesn't have the balls and courage to stand up now. Leadership? Asleep.

Congressional approval required to declare war. Congress determines tariffs. Congress...yes, totally irrelevant. trump has declared himself the emperor of all he surveys. He bombs other countries. He initiates tariffs. His minions decide that a century of health care should be scrapped. Stunned.

“It’s a great irony that Israel—disparaged relentlessly by the Iranian leadership as a savage, illegitimate colonial settler state aiming to humble Muslims everywhere—may, possibly, have opened the door for a new future for the long-suffering Iranian people.” www.foreignaffairs.com/iran/right-p...

Lindsey “regime change” Graham is “willing to risk what happens next.” So brave of Lindsey, to want to go to war everywhere and have others fight in all those wars. Lindsey is so brave.

Pres. Obama negotiated a nuclear treaty with Iran and was vilified by the republicans. trump tore up the treaty. Then trump DEMANDED that Iran sign a new treaty (curiously, just like Pres. Obama's!) trump is an incompetent, dangerous fool who is undermining our country. Will repubs ever stand up?

Obama negotiated a nuclear deal w/Iran. trump shredded it then tried to recreate the same deal. Israel bombed Iran, and trump pretends he knew nothing about it, but says Iran wasn't negotiating fast enough with him. trump is an embarrassing, incompetent, ignorant fool--a useful puppet for dictators.

Stefanik, who is considering a gubernatorial run, uses her questioning time to try to demolish Kathy Hochul

Trump: "This is a statement from the President of the United States concerning the catastrophic Gavin Newscum inspired Riots going on in Los Angeles ... IF THEY SPIT, WE WILL HIT, and I promise you they will be hit harder than they have ever been hit before. Such disrespect will not be tolerated!"

Musk spent $1/4 billion elect Trump. Trump gave Musk access to gov't agencies that regulate his businesses. Musk gets billions of $$ in gov't contracts. The two lovebirds have split. Trump says Musk is a drug addict. Do the republicans even know the definition of corruption? It's not a laptop, guys.

Reminder: DOGE was never about "efficiency."

Dave McCormick on Medicaid: "We want to ensure that the vulnerable people for whom this program was designed are protected and those benefits are protected, but for able-bodied working men without dependents or for illegal immigrants we want to eliminate that expense."

The racism, grift, influence-peddling, compliant, lying legislators--it's all too much. And, sadly, I don't think letting off steam about the media or any other likely villain does much good. We have to take it to the streets, and to the legis. offices. Make them squirm. Just like in the 60's.

FOX: This bill adds trillions to our debt. How is that acceptable to the administration? BESSENT: You're referring to the CBO scoring I believe, which is DC-style scoring

trump claims So Africa is hell for whites. Fact: Black unemp. rate is 36.9%. For whites,7.9%. Fact: top management 65.9% white; 13.8% Black. Fact: population in So Africa 7.3% white, 81.45% Black. Fact: whites own 72% of farms. Fact: trump never seeks truth, only verification of his prejudices.

Christ -- CNN just won't let the "Biden Old" stuff go, even hours after he announces a cancer diagnosis

Rep. Warren Davidson on Biden's cancer diagnosis: "I feel terrible for anybody that would go through that, even someone who I really don't like much as Joe Biden...they're not credible on anything...the whole thing was a big coverup, and I suspect this cancer diagnosis is part of that whole scheme."

"Average voters won't trust us until we dump on Biden more" is the most transparently self-serving horseshit I have ever heard in my life.

So Trump is planning to *cleanse* a region of one *ethnicity*? I wonder if there is already an expression that describes that.

So whatever happens it will be important to remember that Trump tried to take a half billion dollar bribe in the form of a blinged out pimpmobile 747 from the princes who fund Hamas.

What's worse: repubs. yearslong invest.of Hunter's laptop (finding zilch); repubs. losing interest in investigations since trump has perfected corruption; repubs mute as trump brings white Afrikaners here because they're suffering (no evidence of that btw), while non-white refugees wait for years?

What's worse: trump's press sec. thinks the Lib. of Cong. is like your community library; trump's transp. sec. blaming Biden for airport problems stemming from DOGE firing of Air Traffic Controllers and messing with the FAA software; trump naming a surgeon gen. he doesn't know but bobby loves her?

What's worse: trump doesn't know if he's supposed to uphold the Constitution; trump doesn't think a $400 mil. gift plane is a problem; trump soliciting "investors" in his meme coin; trump manipulating the market with his tariff/no tariff scam; trump firing the Black Librarian of Congress?

REPORTER: Are you planning to meet Ursula von der Leyen anytime soon? TRUMP: Oh, she's so fantastic. Right? She's so fantastic. I hope we're gonna meet. The answer is yes.

Now we're considering"deporting" immigrants to Libya and Rwanda? Making entry into the US punishable by a life sentence in a hell-hole? We have a president who is a convicted felon, spending all his president time accumulating vast sums of $$ for himself through grift and bribes. Are we great yet?

Maybe I'm wrong, but this guy needs to get his head out of his butt and stop imagining himself as the hero of a war. He and his boss are flaming narcissists pretending to be leaders. Both are embarrassments to our country and our history.

RADDATZ: Trump said he's made 200 deals on tariffs. 200 deals? Who has he made deals with? Is there actually any deal at this point? BESSENT: I believe that he is referring to subdeals within the negotiations we are doing

Trump can't stop fluffing Putin. Putin has a useful idiot in Trump, as he had a one in the UK with Boris Johnson and his Brexit disaster. Putin despises the EU. He wants to end US alliances so he pushed his puppet to condemn NATO. Why can't the GOP see this? It's going to obliterate their party.

Very, very important piece about a part of the CECOT story that's gone barely discussed. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/inside-...
